A Dam Breaks and Causes
a Disastrous Flood
AND MANY LIVES ARE LOST
Queen KapiOlam says the Mission
airy Party has Caused the
Trouble at Hawaii.

Associated Press Dispatches to the HEEALD.
PORTLAND, Ore, July 11.-News is
just received of disastrous flood near
Thompson's Falls, Idaho. A large
dam, constructed some time ago to
afford water for placer mining in that
region on one side of Blossom Lake,
which is situated at a high altitude on
the Bitter Root divide, suddenly yield
ed to the enormous pressure. The
huge masses of water thus liberated
came rushing down the deep canyon
with irresistible impetuosity. The
noise of the watery avalanche was
heard for miles and deafening roars
filled the stoutest hearts with terror.
Trees and rocks were torn out and
borne along with the flood. The
course of the water was along the line
of the Thompson's Falls road, and
that thoroughfare into the mining re-
gions was totally destroyed for miles.
"a StoSO iot'u Va pseooChSCiS OoiuiIlS up
the road heard the crashing of the APP
preaching flood and barely escaped by
whipping the horses up the steep side
of the hill. The food swept past for
over an hour, cut wide channel and
in places tore out deep chasms. Many
wagons and contents were swept away,
the drivers deserting them. Numer-
GUS bridges were carried off. Most of
two small mining towns, Mountain
City and York, were destroyed and it
is feared many lives are lost. The
full extent of the damage is not vet
known. Mail communication is inter-
rupted and miles of telegraph wire are
destroyed. Many freight teams are
known to have been on the road at the
time and of their fate nothing is
known. The dam which gave way
was constructed last year. The disas-
ter is serious one to mining pros

BASE BALL.
The WashingtOns Beat the Chi-
cagO Champions.

WASHINGTON, July 11.-Almost per-
feet fielding and a few timely hits
aided by costly errors, enabled Wash
ington to secure an easy victory over
the Chicago champions to-day. The
result was surprise to nearly every
one present. Clarkson pitched good
game but his support was wretched.
Ryan, Sullivan and Williamson play
ed their position in very amateur
manner. Ryan repeatedly made er-
rors that would have disgraccd a
school boy. The home team fielded
admirably and the white stockings
were compelled to earn their four
runs. Not a single run Of the twelve
scored by the Washingtons was earn
ed. Pitchers, O'Day and Clarkson
catchers, Mack and Flint. Score,
Washington, II; Chicago, 4.
NEW YORK VS.. PITTsBURG.
PIrTsBuRG, July 1.-THE Pittsburg
club defeated the New York club at
the polo grounds, to-day, after a hard
fought and exceedingly fine game.
The Giants found Mccormick curves
hard to solve, and did very little bat
ting. Two thousand five hundred
spectators were present. In the ninth
inning Carol displayed brutal and
rowdyish temper, when he deliber-
ately ran into George at the home
plate, and severely injured him.
Kisses and cries of "Rowdy" and
"Loafer" resounded on all sides.
Georges head was cut open by the
collision, but he continued to pitch
after delay of several minutes. The
pitchers were George and Mccormick,
and the catchers Brown and Miller.
Score: New York, 2: Pittsburg, 3.

or two the rates had not been so high
as formerly. He had been somewhat
surprised when he read in the news
papers the published testimony of this
commission taken at Omaha, showing
the rebates allowed to the Omaha
Smelling Company. The witness said
his company, the Boston and Color
ado Smelling Company, have not re-
ceived any special rates or rebates,
though it had received from the rail-
road conpany a refund of several
items of overcharge. He thought
Denver woald have had 10000 more

elimination against it by the Union
Pacific. The witness had an interest
in ii Denver newspaper wfpich paid $50 a
ton for freighS on paper shipped from
Chicago. A newspaper in San Fran
cisco that used the same paper paid
$40 ton on freight from Chicago.
Commissioners Anderson inquired
whether that discrimination has exist
ed since the passage of the Interstate
Commerce law. He, witness, replied
that it still continues, as the fourth
clause of the law had been suspended
by the Inter-State' Commerce Com

Attractive Homes.

An advertisement elsewhere an
nounces that the Kercheval tract has
been subdivided, and is to be placed
upon the market in lots. This tract
forms one of the most charming places
in this city-the home Of our sweet
singing poet, Albert F. Kercheval. 1t
is situated on Lemon, Ninth and
Santa Fe streets, and is covered with
the finest variety of orange trees in
this city-trees that have never been
permitted to gather the scale, and
that have been cared for with all the
watchfulness of q devoted lover of
the beautiful in nature. This prop
erty is now centrally situated for the
immediate acquisition of charming
and attractive homes. The trees and
tlower-beds will not be disturbed, and
whoever secures a lot here may at
once enter upon the enjoyment of a
home surrounded with arboral and
floral improvements which it has
taken years of care to bring to beau
tiful perfection.

AN ENGINEER,S STRIKE
Causes Much Trouble TO Travel
ling Goth a mites.

New York, July 1.-THE engineers
on the Brooklyn elevated railroad
struck at 5 O'Clock this afternoon. No
trains are running on the line.
EFFECTS OF THE STRIKE.
To-day's experience was complete
surprise to everyone as at that hour
the trains are loaded with passengers
on their way from business and work
in New York to their homes in Brook
lyn, and the result was terrible
crush at Brooklyn bridge and Fulton
ferry. The trouble has been brooding
for some time as the men complained
Of long hours and there were rumors
of a reduction in wages. Yesterday
nine of the men, three engineers and
six firemen were discharged. Ameet-
ing of the others who all belong to
the brotherhood of Locomotive En-
gineers took place and demanded
their reinstatement pending settle
ment by arbitration and on refusal
the strike was ordered.
TRAIN AFTER TRAIN.

New York, was side-tracked, and at

at the lower end took the surface
railways and gradually got away.
Chief Arthur, of the Brotherhood,
has been telegraphed for and is ex-
pected tomorrow morning, and in the
meantime the strikers maintain per-
feet order. About fifty engineers and
as many firemen are out. After a
time II few switchmen were secured
and trains were running once in thirty
minutes late tonight.

purpose of inducing Mr.. Oglesby, ex-
Sheriff Of Maverick, to accompany
him back to Texas. White says that
the people back there desire only that
Oglesby shall return and settle up.
He has many friends remaining back
there and, IN fact, one of his firmest
friends was foreman Of the Grand
Jury that indicted him for embezzle-
ment. Mr.. White speaks very highly
of Capt. Oglesby, and feels assured
that he will go back to Texas without
any trouble.

A MYSTERIOUS DEATH.
A BODY Found at SAN Pedro and
the Cause of Death Unknown.

A BODY Found at San Pedro and
the Cause of Death Unknown.
About o'clock on Sunday morning
party while out rowing in the bay
between San Pedro and Wilmington
discovered the body of man entan-
gled in some weeds near the shore.
Without any reason for the suppesition,
rumor was Immediately started that
the man had been murdered. Coro-
ner Meredith was notified, and he
started for San Pedro yesterday morn
ing. The body was apparently that
of a mulatto, and gave unmistakable
signs of having been in the water for
about two weeks. The face and hands
were terribly decomposed and the fea-
lures were unrecognizable. There
was depression on the back of the
head which looked az though it had
been caused by a blow from some
heavy instrument.
An inquest was held, and I. ID.
Hall, a resident of San Pedro, was
called as witness. He recognized
the remains as those of mulatto
whom he had known as "Joe."
About six months ago he had known
him in San Francisco, where he
worked for the Union Iron Works in
the capacity of boiler-maker. He
had not seen him for over two weeks.
The jury returned the following
verdict: "That deceased came to his
death by drowning, having been
found in the bay of San Pedro; and
that whether the same was accidental,
intentional or by force and violence of
other persons, we have no means OF
knowing"

What MA kes the Market.

New York, July 1.-THE Com
mercial Advertiser in its review of the
stock market says the present con-
dition of the Baltimore and Ohio ne
gotiation is unquesionably at the bot
tom of the dullness and recent weak
ness of the market more than the
liquidation of stocks by the Chicago
firms hurt by the recent wheat col
lapse though that consideration has
had good deal of influence. 1t is
pretty well known that both parties
to the deal are in q trying position,
the seller being burdened with stock
on which he was obliged to dump his
"origin" of purchase and which he
now must sell and the buyer laboring
under the difficulty of obtaining neces-
sary financial support. 1t is easy
enough to see that if Gould were to re-
peat his tactics of few weeks ago
both Garrett and Ives would be in a
very hazardous position. This is the
impending calamity which has waived
over the street for several days.

A False Impression.

EDITORS HERALD-I write to re-
quest you to correct through the col
umns of your paper a false impression
that has gone out respecting the OBJ
ject of the Girls Home. 1t is not, as
it has been called, the "Stray" Girls
Home. 1t was not intended to estab-
lish a home for that class-only the
very young whom We hope to reform,
and raise above and shield from in
fluences that have led them to take u
false step. Our home is for all classes
of young girls that need it. l have in
my charge three, not one of them
stray girls. Two were committed
from Judge Austin's court for protec-
ton. A respectable girl in making
to be received into the
home said that she feared people
would think she was bad if she went
there. So we see the need of correct
ing the false impression that has gone
out to the public.

Hong Hi Pays the Penalty of
his Crime.

! tOLuSA, July 'll.-lHe lliiltii y
guard at the Jail was removed shortly
before midnight, the excitement hav.
ing apparently died out. Shortly be-
fore 10 o'clock arrived, band of one
hundred and fifty men appeared at the
jail, seized the Sheriff and began a
search for Hong Di, who was found
secreted under the Sheriff's bedroom.
He was taken out, marched through
Chinatown, where not a light APP
peared, to the railroad grounds where
halt was made. Weaver was in the
crowd which followed and came for
ward with questions. This was un-
derstood to be Hong's last speech:
Weaver asked him if he had not al
ways treated him with kindness and
done favors for him.
Hong said ives"
"Did | not give you a razor and
many other things?" asked Weaver
in tones OF suppressed passion.
"Yes," said the Chinaman again as
though he was repeating a lesson he
had learned by rote.
"What did you shoot me for, then ?"
demanded Weaver, his voice ringing
out sharply in the death-like stiffness
of the quiet night. Weaver paused a
moment to give tine Chinaman time
to reply, and then he asked, sharply !:
"What did you shoot Mrs. Billou
for?"
Hong Di evidently tried to speak.
His lips moved and the muscles of his
pallid, drawn face tremored convul-
sively. Weaver repeated the ques-
ton, this time with increased empha-
sis and in a manner which demanded
an answer. The scared coolie stam-
mered some unintelligible words and
then gasped out:
81 was drunk with whisky"
Several other attempts were made
to induce Hong to respond, but he
was powerless to do so. The word
was then given, and he was swung
from the cross-bar of the turntable.
He was allowed to hang seven min
utes, when the body was lowered.
Finding life not extinct, the lynchers
again suspended him and left him
there. The crowd dispersed quietly.
THE VERDICT.
The coroner's jury summoned over
the body of Hong Di reported that he
came to his death by hanging on the
night of July 11th, by the hands of
persons unknown to the jury, growing
out of the result of the verdict of the
trial by the jury of the Superior court,
who by their said verdict outraged the
memory, chastity, virtue and unim-
peachable good character Of Mrs.
Julia Billou, a lady of high, pure and
modest worth, by prostituting law and
savoring perjury and criminality, by
bartering justice to save the life of a
wilful, deliberate and malicious muir
derer, who had on his own sworn tes-
timony with malicious forethought
killed and murdered one of Colusa
county's noblest and purest women,
and we hereby censure and condemn
the said trial jury for said verdict as
being wholly wanting in moral cour-
age to assert the dignity of the law
and justice in the case of the people OF
the State of California"

SCANDINAVIAN SEAMEN
Form the Principal Foreign Ele.

SAN Francisco, July 11.-Some sea
captains were discussing the seamen's
labor question in the Shipping Com
missioner's Office yesterday, when the
conversation turned to the nationality
OF the sailors shipped from this port.
From this port last year 1851 natives
were shipped, as against 6,02l for
eigners, total of S,3l2.
New York, in the same time,
shipped 10,947 men, the foreigners
being about 1000 in majority. OF
these foreigners, four-fifths are Scan
dinavians. On the articles OF ship
ping, under the head of where

Sweden, America, Norway, Lapland
and England. The shipping commits
sioners and sea captains state that the
number of Scandinavian sailors was
equal to those of all the other nations

HE APPROVES MILES COURSE.
The Noble Conduct of the Com

Be Rewarded.

Associated Press Dispatches to the Herald. |
SAN Francisco, July 11.-Respect-
ing the comments attributed to Com
missioner Atkins, at Washington,
anent the recent Apache campaign,
intinating that General Miles should
at once have shot the Apaches, Gen
eral 0. o. Howard to-day said: "Gen-
eral Miles has reported to these head
quarters that all the Apaches had been
either captured or had surrendered.
Some OF them are scouts, and in other
ways in the employ of the Govern
ment, and are therefore amenable to
military punishment. Once in his
hands, by either surrender or capture,
General Miles could not shoot them
down without gross violation of the
laws of nations, as well as of the laws
of war of the United States. Those
not in the employ of the Government
he could only hold as prisoners of war
and report that to the Secretary War
as to their disposition. This General
Miles did, accompanied with recon-
mendation that they all be perma-
nently removed from the reservation.
l am not advised what action, if any,
the Secretary of War has taken in
this matter, but l do not hesitate to
say that General Miles could not
have done otherwise than he did.
His action receives my entire approx
al. AS to those in the employ
of the government as scouts
and otherwise, another course of ac-
ton wi.s open to him and he has taken
it. They were clearly subject to pun
ishmeiN by court martial. Ii they
are found guilty they will undoubt-
edly alice shot. The army is not
lawless, but a law-abiding body, and
will not punish even the Apaches
when prisoners, except in the way
provided by law. | know of no other
way in which these red handed mur-
derers canbe dealt witt except that
pursued by Gen. Miles"

The Death sentence Com,nu,~s.

SocoRRo, n. NJ, July I1.-Jasper
Thomasson, who has been reprieved
seven times and was to have been
executed on the 30th inst, has had his
sentence commuted to imprisonment
for life. Thomasson's crime was the
murder of James Porter, whose wife it
is supposed he had seduced. He
assassinated Potter while he was un-
armed in the woods cutting poles.
The fact that new evidence is expected
which will palliate Thomasson's helm
ous crime is all that prevents a pop
ular outburst of indignation. To his
sister, Mrs. Hood, of Los Angeles,
Cal. Thomasson can owe his life, as it
was through her untiring efforts that
the death sentence had not been car
ried into effect weeks ago.
